You can type "autochk not found" into Google and press the search button.

funny, i search for hours but can't find what i search for. can you
concrete help, do you know a solution that works

Funny! I type "autochk not found" into the google search box and get overwhelmed with info.

Maybe with the help of a local computer-literate friend you can learn how to take advantage of the knowledge available on the internet.

yes, its the same for me. i'm overwhelmed with info too. But if i read
it, it don't fit to my problem respectively i can't get a sulution out
of the info (i'm no computer expert). Then i try to get help over a
user-group where i can ask questions in the hope to get a solution.
But all i get are clever manifestations which don't help. And instead
of getting serious help we depart from the primary subject. I write in
a foreign language what take time. It's waste time to read not helpful
manifestations.

If some one can give me a helpful tip i will be glad. If some one
don't have some knowledge about the problem he needn't write it here
and he needn t to write a funny hint instead.

seriously help wanted.

What do you mean " it don't fit to my problem" ?
The first Google hit I got was this page :
http://www.pchell.com/support/autochknotfound.shtml
The problem there is an error saying "autochk not found" and rebooting.

Just what your problem is.

The second hit was this page :
http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic7746.html
The problem there was an error message about autochk missing and rebooting.

Is this information no good ?

Rather than hunt for an old copy of PTEDIT, you can download
a .zip file of Gparted and make a live CD that will "unhide" partitions
or mark them "boot" ("active" in Microsoft terminology). These are
options in the "Manage Flags" function that appears in the drop-down
list when you rt-click on a partition in the Graphic User Interface (i.e.
the picture box). In my case, the problem was that a partition containing
data was marked "active", and making the proper partition "active"
fixed the problem.

Thanks for that information but it's the OP who has the problem, not me.

Hello,

thanks for previous help and sorry for my angry message yesterday. I
spend many hours in front of my computer and get no solution. I decide
to describe my problem again and also describe my acts in the hope
some one can see what is wrong and can tell what i must do (be assure
that i read many pages after search over google)

following configuration has my hard disk :

sda1 vist-office 100GB
sda2 vista-games 100GB
sda3 extended 100GB
sda4 vista-Data 165GB
sda5 swap 4GB
sda6 root 20GB
sda7 home 75GB

on sda1 i install vista with basic tools like java, pdf-creator,
antivirus, 7zip, pdf-reader, ...
with partition image i take an image from sda1 and restore it to sda2
on sda5-7 i install opensuse 11
opensuse install a grub-bootloader
over grub i can start vista-office (sda1) and opnesuse
if i try to boot vista-games (sda2) it seems if there will be load
vista-office (sda1)
so i change the grub-settings as follows :
for office :
hide (hd0,1)
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
for games :
hide (hd0,0)
unhide (hd0,1)
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader (hd0,1)+1
if i try to boot vista-games i get the message autochk not found
now i try with the vista-install-cd to repair the installation on sda2
vista say it fix some problems (automatically) so i reboot my system
but get the same message (autochk not found)
i boot again over vista-install-cd and use chkdsk /r over the vista-
console (c
vista say it fix some problems so i reboot my system but get the same
message (autochk not found)
so i boot again over vista-install-cd and use bootrec /FixMbr /FixBoot
over the vista-console (c
vista say it have done so, so i reboot my system but get the same
message (autochk not found) and now my grub is lost
now i try to install vista on sda2 over vista-install-cd but after
copy files to sda2 and reebot i get the message autochk not found
now i have change the flag from sda1 to boot and the flag from sda2 to
hidden and restore the sda1 image it to sda2
at the moment vista-office boot correct, but i have no access to vista-
games
and now the game begins again (after i find a solution to get grub to
work)
but how can i chang the result of the game (autochk not found, reboot)
